x = if y > 5 { "foo" } else { "bar" }

This is just superior to anything else

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

In what language is that valid syntax?

[–] four@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

This is Rust syntax, but there's similar syntax in Haskell

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

This is valid rust. I don't know if there are more languages with this feature

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I honestly can't see how this is more readable than

x = (y > 5) ? "foo" : "bar"

I get that it's a syntax that needs to be learned, but it's just so clean and concise!

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Because it can be done for multiple lines too. And you can do else-if too. Also, "if" and "else" is more recognizable than "?" and ":"

x = if y > 5 {
    println!("Y was over 5");
    z + 5
} else if y < 0 {
    handle_negative_y(y);
    z - y
} else {
    println!("<WARN> unexpected value for y"}
    0
}

What I like about using if and else for that is that you're already using those keywords for branching in other parts of the code.

Though my least favorite is probably Python's:

x = "foo" if y > 5 else "bar"

It just seems backwards to me

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Because Python wants you to read it like English:

x is "foo" if y is greater than 5, else it is "bar"

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

While Python's version does feel a bit backwards, it's at least consistent with how list comprehensions are set up. They can also feel a bit "backwards" imo, especially when they include conditionals.

[–] four@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

List comprehension is another thing I don't like about Python :)

There's more of those, but one thing I do like about Python is that I get paid for writing it, so I try not to complain too much

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

I love list comprehension. Best part of the language, imo. To each their own.

[–] groctel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Never forget your roots

(setq x (if (> y 5) :foo :bar))
[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

('bar',:'foo')&({~ 5&< )
